Welcome to The Freemasons Arms, Covent Garden

The spiritual home of the Football Association

The Freemasons Arms was built during the reign of Queen Victoria and has a great place in history. It was here that the Football Association met in 1863 to thrash out the laws of a game now played in more than 200 countries across the globe, and we celebrate this connection with a fine array of soccer memorabilia in the downstairs bar.

If you're looking for excellent food and drink, this is the place to be! We serve delicious, traditional pub food and a great selection of authentic Kentish cask ales. We're proud to say that we've been awarded a Cask Marque and we've been featured in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.

We also cater for private functions. If you're looking for a venue for a meeting, or want to celebrate a personal event, this is the perfect place to do so.

You'll find us in the heart of central London. We're 200 yards from Covent Garden tube station and just a short walk from Charing Cross, with two secure car parks nearby. We occupy a prime location near the Royal Opera House and other tourist hotspots, so we're perfectly positioned for unwinding after a long day's work/sightseeing.
